To the ultimately liable: SOAR for Compliance!

Definitions and Context: threats, incidents, SOAR (automation, orchestration & response), Liability in Security GRC

SOAR for executives and decision makers.

Less is more. Quality is better than quantity.

Vendors/Partners Requirements, Frameworks, Regulations, Legislations, Industry standards (NIST, GDPR, APRA, FIRB) and their controls/requirements around proactive vulnerability management and threat intelligence, timely and effective incident response and recovery + notification.

The 3 pillars of security: People, Processes and Technology

- How to adopt SOAR across the 3 pillars.
- Acknowledging the need and value of SOAR at the strategic level.
- SOAR from a vendor-agnostic prism.
- Policies, Standards and Playbooks for SOAR.
- Assurance: Rules and Config reviews.
- Understand the problems SOAR solves and how it solves the problem. How it speeds your compliance journey. How it can save you money.
- SOAR gives you contextualised intelligence and facilitates decision making.
- SOAR gives you visibility (metrics, measures, assurance).
- SOAR works on the Protect function, not only Detect. SOAR is intelligent, it learns a new threat from correlating data from evidence, past attacks, patterns and thwarts it.
- Your chances of successful incident detection and response will definitely SOAR ;)
- Integration with peers, digestion of intelligence feeds, centralised libraries, standardised formats for easy sharing.

SOAR automates and enhances processes, elevates your security maturity and gives you the tick for several compliance boxes.
